Remote Sensing and Wildfire Management - The Squared Circle, Round Four

This is Round Four of our special “Squared Circle” episodes, where a group of guests gets together to wrestle with a particular topic. For this episode, we're joined by Dr. Sam Batzli from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Dr. Nancy French from the Michigan Tech Research Institute, and Dr. Aaron Maxwell from West Virginia University, and we’re discussing all things wildfire management with remote sensing and geospatial technologies. We talk about fire detection through remote sensing, the impact of emissions from fires, fuel mapping, post-fire analysis and potential impacts like debris-flow and landslides, fire danger assessment, Landfire, radar remote sensing for examining moisture conditions on the ground, terrestrial laser scanning before and after fire events, prescribed burns and fire behavior, NIFC (National Interagency Fire Center), measuring fuel moisture, FireSat, and much more.
